&"A namin' of no names," as SAIRY
CAMP used to say, Twill whisper you a
little story about minent young
real estate man which you must rot re-
peat upon any condition. / will not
even describe him too particularly or
you would recognize him at once, for he
is known to all of you. Our young
friend, whose graceS of person
are only equaled by his
charms of mind, had a sweetheart.
Why l use the past tense will speedily
appear, for also, unfortunate youth, he
has a sweetheart no longer. Worn out
through the exacting occupation of per-
suading cOnfiding investors that the
possession of sections of st. Paul dirt
is more to be desired than much gold
and fine silver, he concluded to take a
vacation at distant resort. He had
hardly been installed in his new quar-
tiers before he made the acquaintance of
most fascinating little widow, who had
mourned once more the dear departed
long enough to take interest i'm attractive
young men. Having ''many time and
oft" conqueredthe doubts of the timid
investor, the young real estate man con-
quered the susceptible heart of the
beautiful widow in an exceedingly
short time, but before the triumph
was fully assured the lady i'll
black was called away to a distant town.
The lover was accorded permission to
write, however, and speedily betoOk
himself to the pleasant duty. He COM
pleted most endearing letter. Before
placing it in an envelope remorse over
came him that he had not written more
frequently to his st. Paul sweetheart.
He immediately dashed off letter even
more ardent than that which he had
just finished to the charming widow.
Hastily directing the two, he mailed
them and waited anxiously for the re-
plies. They came. The result was
rather astonishing, however, for from
the st. Paul sweetheart he received a
bundle Of letters and all his presents;
from the widow a scathing cpistle de-
nOunclng him as tickle wretch. He
had put the wrong letters in the wrong
envelopes. Now, instead of having two
SWeetIeartS, he has none. Young men,
beware. But yOu can't guess his name.

viii think the whispering of it, even in
this confidential manner, rather prema-
ture, SO ''for goodness sake don't say |
told you" Briefly, they argue in this
wise: There are many legitimate real
estate dealers in st. Paul, men who
maintain expensive Offices and have
heavy expenses in other directions, who
guard their regulations jealousy and
who wouldn't for twice the commits
Sons misreprasent a piece of property
to an intending purchaser. But
there are others who have neither
fixed abiding place nor
reputation. These latter, however,
divide up the business and decrease the
profits OF the legitimate dealers. 1t is
desired to make these free-lance deal
ers Retire from the business. But how
is it to be done? Easy enough,
the regular dealers think; simply
by the imposition of heavy annual
tax, say OF Sl,O30, upon every firm Or
individual doing business. Certainly,
if the scheme cSh be carried out, it will
reduce the number of operators, but can
it be done? The. WhiSperer doubts it.
1t is whispered so loudly in certain
quarters that it is in danger of becom-
ing public property that my bright,
handsome and accomplished young
friend sam Hill,- OF Minneapolis, has
very maeled congressional aspirations.
Though the district is in the procession
oi the Democrats, and is likely to re-
main so for a good many years to come,
yet if the time ever does come again
when the Republicans are to have the
congressman, l don't know any one in
the ranks of our friends, the enemy,
VIII would so admirably fill the position
as SAM HILL. A graduate of Harvard, lie
has gone on adding to his store of knowl-
edge since he left Cambridge some
eight years ago, and is the intellectual
equal of any man in his party. His
reputation as a lawyer is an envlable
one and his popularity is only limited by
his acquaintance, while his graceS of
person may be imagined by the reputa-
ton he possesses Of being the handsomeSt
man in the Flour City. In the event of
his candidacy he would only have to dis
tribute cabinet photographs of
himself among the women of
his district in order to insure
their enthusiastic and immediate
support, and every one knows that the
support of the women is half the battle.
Either in the legislative halls or the
dining-roomS of the capitol, SAM HILL
would shine, and would not be sur
prised to see him some day reach the
goal OF his ambition.

clever scheme the other day, and /
whisper it to you that you may try it
yourself some day. A young lady was
going abroad, and friend of hers be-
thought him of plan TO relieve some

wrote three letters, dated on consecutive
days, inelosed them with one of Uncle

surprise and cry of delight at receiving

delicious scheme? The WHIspERER.
